International Relations Office
Welcome to the International Relations Office.
Our mission is to promote a globalized working environment and to strengthen the intercultural skills of our students, lecturers and staff. As the central point of contact for international affairs, we are committed to international exchange and shape internationalization as an important strategy of our higher education institution.
Our responsibilities include:
-
Establishing and maintaining contacts with our partner universities
We build and maintain relationships with renowned higher education institutions worldwide to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, culture and experiences.
-
Organizing stays abroad and supervising outgoing students
We support students, teachers and staff in planning and carrying out stays abroad. Whether it's a semester of study, an internship or a staff mobility program with our partner universities, we will help you on your way.
-
Organization and supervision of incoming students
We welcome and support students, teachers and staff from our partner universities who come to us for an exchange and ensure that they feel comfortable at our higher education institution and can successfully organize their exchange.
-
Planning and supervision of the International Programme (IP)
With our International Program (IP), we offer a unique platform for international student exchange. The program includes lectures held in English that have been specially developed for incoming students, as well as selected courses taught in English from all bachelor's and master's degree programs.
-
Implementation of Erasmus+ funding programmes for student and staff mobility
We apply for funding, manage mobility projects and report to the funding providers. We also ensure that funding is paid out to participating students and staff in a timely manner.
Our goal is to create an open and connected university community that values international perspectives and promotes intercultural dialogue.
We look forward to supporting you in your international endeavors.
